About Flashback
The studio behind the restoration
Every photograph holds a story worth preserving.
Flashback was built for anyone with a faded, torn, or black-and-white photograph of a loved one — a grandparent, a family home, a moment frozen in time — that deserves to be seen in full clarity.
It uses Claude Vision AI internally. Your image is sent to the Anthropic API with a professional restoration prompt. Claude analyses the damage, describes reconstruction steps, and returns a detailed four-part restoration report.
Three modes cover every need: Restore B&W perfects the original monochrome · Colorize adds historically accurate colour · Subtle Animation plans exactly how to bring the portrait to life.
The Full Restoration Prompt
"Professionally restore and colorize this old black and white photograph. Repair all visible damage including blur, tears, scratches, dust, stains, creases, cracks, fading, discoloration, and missing areas. Reconstruct damaged or torn sections naturally and seamlessly. Sharpen facial features carefully while preserving natural skin texture and authentic expressions — avoid over-smoothing. Add realistic, historically accurate color tones with natural skin tones, lifelike eye color, and appropriate clothing colors. Enhance lighting, contrast, and overall clarity while maintaining the original mood and authenticity of the image. Remove noise and grain but retain natural photographic texture. Produce a high-resolution, ultra-detailed, professional-quality restoration that looks natural and not artificially enhanced."
